I guess he was doing research for his new book.....: )

I hear what your saying however his dismissal is not equal to innocence. So its probably true and since a first offense as I said the dismissal would make sense.

I sat on a jury at a rape trial when I was a 21 year old idiot liberal. I had been indoctrinated in all the feminist crap about how a woman never tells a lie about rape while I was in college. But when I was on this jury and I saw how pathetic the evidence was (it was clear the girlfriend was making up the entire story and that the boy had insisted that it be brought to trial even though they had offered him a deal) and it opened my eyes to the justice system. I can see the reasons why Ritter or someone like him would not want to go to trial. I can also see why a prosecutor would strike a deal because if it did go to trial Ritter would win. I am just saying- this whole thing stinks.
